Be it known that I, ISAAC A. ULtMANa,

acitizen of the United States, and a-res1- the followingis a specification. My invention relates primarily to. devlces' 'for attaching collarsto shirts,- the object beton, and with dent of Brooklyn, county of Kings, and

State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in *Devices for Attaching Collars to Shirts, of. .which ing to dispense with the ordinary collar butwhich, when in use, press against the neck of the wearer.

- .is much cheaperto manufacture than the or- .di-nary collarbutton.

In m invention I use'the ordinary shirtand or inary collar, and achieve the desired result without any increase of expense, and in fact, my improved-collarattaching device In the drawings forming part jof this '1 specification Figural represents my 1m-' fin aneckband of a shirt;

an enlarged viewofmy'invention; Fig. 3 is aside view thereof.

- Referring-to the i isopen at-thebottOm in the ordinary way proved device placed in op erative'position drawings, like letters re fer tolike parts. v v A is therear view of a'shirt showing the neckband B with a pocket in'the 'neckband formed by the stitches D andthe stitching. across the'ftop of the neckband. This pocket so as to permit the insertion of collar retainin means, andthe pocket is provided with-a buttonhole G, all of which is inshirts as generallyv constructed at the present ;time. 7 My collar retainer consists as shown in Fig. 2 ofthe flat body; member E, the fiat head- G- and the fiat .connecting 'm ember E, all. in the same plane. The member F at its point of connection with the head G is narrower than at its point of connection with the body E,-,and ordinarily I prefer to make the connecting member F at the point where it connects with the body-'member E substantially the ferred form,

same width as the head G, which'l prefer to make substantially as wide as the collar button hole in the pocket ofthe shirt is long. The lower edge of the body member E extends'laterally .in each direction to provide shoulders oi -which the device may be turned in the process of insertion. In the pre- .openhtion, v my I y y placed into the pocketof the..-; neckband with-the head G. projecting outward through its shank, head and base,-

' position.

I make the head G so that. it will have two portions projecting r'ear a-"pointbeyond the point where. the'head connects with the connectingv member F, theobject-of the, head being to retain the collar in place while it isbeingxadjusted "at some other point of connection.

P tented Oct. 27; 19 14.2

wardly in the direction of the member E to improved device I isthebut'ton hole in an upward direction when it is drawn through the button hole until body member E projects upward through the button holethen the substantially he entire retainer with the "exception of; the p head is turned downward, as [shown in Fig.

e of the body portion forming shouldersw' ich'abut the outer fold of the shirt band and aboutwhich the device is turned, and the body assumes a position be readilyyseen th at in this position the retaineris substantially-v locked". within the;

the collaris in position, the 1 pocket. When head G andythe connecting member extending through the buttonhole in the rear the. neckband above the pressure o'f the collar on" the button hole. and below the button hole will look the device in The head G and} the projecting member F may, the necktie. down in advisable. Q

My improved though, ifdesired, it could be made of; a

be made'of bone ori'vory, orany other suitablematerial, but itlis necessary that the material used be smiiicientlyrigid so thatthe upward pull i the coll ar-would not metal which was slightly flexible, er -could bend the connecting member F upward, for

if this occurred, the material would permit the collar to disengage-- itself fromlthe retainer when the projectingmembe'r, had

bent over on the neckband so as toassume a j position abovethe collar button hole rather than below'it.

.It isessential that in use this projecting member F always project so that the head points downward in rela tion' to the'oollar button hole.

Ha ving thusiully described my invention, what I clalm as new and desire to so cure by Letters Patent, is:

*A device adapted to be inserted the rear;

asshown by dotted .lines inFig. 1.1- It will is lower e Gopiol of this patent may be obtained for v.; :ollaibuttor hole ofa two fold shirt hand'; o'omprising a: laterally extending relatively" narrow body portion a flat collar attaching tongue Fe of-the body portion, and a laterally en arged'hea'd joined to the lower end of said-tongue to prevent the button becoming accidentally disengaged from the' button-hole, the lower edge of the body portion extending laterally in both directions from the base of the tongue to rovide shoulders on which the device may shirt band pocket in theprocess of insertion,

and the upper edge of sand body portion being perpendicular to the longitudinal axis dprojecting downwardly from the prevented, and said body e turned in the offthe button so as toresent an elongated supportin ed e, which is adapted to lie. ad acent t e f0 d in the shirt band, whereby tilting of the button in the jbutton-holezis,

g)ortion ,:t0 e 20 u stantially t. button. In testimony whereof, I have signedfmy' name to this specification, inthe presence and head all forminga s of two'suhscribmg witnesses.
